Engelbert Humperdinck – 2-fer “Santa Lija” and “Live And Just Let Live” From 1971 LP “Sweetheart”

ADDICTION NEWS 6 Comments »

Okay you “HUMPYMANIACS” (especially you,Marilyn) here is a 2-fer from one of my favorite Engelbert LPs, “Sweetheart” from 1971. There is not a bad track on this whole LP and these 2 songs are 2 of my favorites. I always thought “Santa Lija” should have been issued as a single. It was overseas but the US got “When There’s No You” as the next single instead. “WTNO” is a great single and the B side is the non LP track “Stranger Step Into My World”. You can’t get much better than that. “Live And Just Let Live” was written by Paul Anka. Since you all seem to like these obscure LP tracks that I have been posting, I’ve decided to go thru my Engelbert library and find some of the rarest and most forgotten tracks and post them for all to rediscover. There are so many great tracks that have seemed to have gotten lost over the years because they only remained on vinyl and rarely if ever appeared on an obscure import CD. These songs are truly worthy of rediscovery and as long as you all enjoy them, I will continue to post them. (Don’t hyperventilate Marilyn!) I’m gonna stick to mainly to the Parrot releases as the later stuff is alot more common and there is a ton of it already on youtube ENJOY!!

Inside the Dr. James Coffee House Teen Shelter in Santa Rosa

ADDICTION NEWS Comments Off

Missing: adj. Not present; absent. Throwaway: n. Something designed or likely to be discarded after use. By definition, youth are not meant to be missing or thrown away, but it happens. When it does, Social Advocates for Youth is there. The California Department of Justice defines missing child as one who has left home without the knowledge or permission of parents or guardian. In California, approximately 110300 children a year were reported missing for 2006, 2007, and 2008. During the same three year period, an average of 1100 youth was reported missing in Sonoma County. SAYs Dr. James Coffee House is the only 24/7 emergency youth shelter in Sonoma County since 1991. The Coffee House fills a profound need in our community. Without the Coffee House, Sonoma County would have no safety net for young people who run away or who have been kicked out of their homes. www.saysc.org

The Santa Delusion / Richard Dawkins for Little Children

ADDICTION NEWS Comments Off

I think one reason that Richard Dawkins is so insistent that we share his non-belief in God is that this would be a necessary first step before we can share his belief that he is — quite literally — the smartest thing in the universe. Well, I don’t see why the refutation of erroneous, if reassuring, beliefs should be limited to those held by adults. So, here’s something for the kids. Comments and questions welcome.
